The humanoid robot Gundam was unveiled today in Yokohama, Japan. The robot can kneel, walk and gesture. With a mass of 25 tons, it is an impressive feat and a great technological success.

It is modeled on the 70s anime series Mobile Suit Gundam. It reminds me more of robots from the movie Pacific Rim.


On who does remind you off?

It is really impressive but I am here wondering if it has any purpose, will it be used to do something useful or it is just for exhibitions?

Looks just for exhibitions but many projects start like that and later turn into something useful. When they test it in this enivorment and find bugs, they can make something useful from it.
